In other words, the Ji family is the real estate tycoon of the Dayu Dynasty and has monopolized the entire pawn and auction industry.
Moreover, Ji Yunxi is in charge of the Ji family's profitable businesses.
It’s nothing, everything related to money is her interest.
Each of the brothers in the Ji family has a field in which they are extremely proficient, but none of them are very good at making money.
It just so happened that Ji Yunxi liked it very much.
So, they hit it off immediately.
Ji Yunxi took control of the financial power of the Ji family.
But not many people know about it.
In fact, the Ji family has never concealed it. Several brothers in the Ji family even always say that the Ji family’s prosperity today is all thanks to their younger sister.
But everyone had an expression that said, "I understand, you are flattering your sister again."
Because no one believed that Ji Yunxi had this ability.
Everyone in the capital agreed that Ji Yunxi inspected the family business on fixed days just to show off her power as the eldest daughter.
Sometimes, the more people want to hide something, the less they can hide it.
But on the other hand, the more you don't want to hide something, the more people will automatically help you cover it up.
Ji Yunxi, who was acting like a spoiled little girl once again, first went outside the city to see the fertile fields at home, and then went to the largest pawnshop in the city.
In the pawnshop warehouse, there are neatly arranged rare treasures that have been pawned by others, priceless and highly collectible calligraphy and paintings by famous people, etc.
Ji Yunxi walked slowly, and whenever she saw something interesting, she would play with it carefully for a while.
Suddenly, her steps slowed down slightly and her eyebrows raised slightly.
Baofu looked over and identified them: "Miss! Aren't these the ones that the Marquis used to hang in his study? The Marquis later gave them to the Yang family..."
"Yes." Ji Yunxi flipped through the pages casually, "It is indeed the calligraphy and paintings that Big Brother collected a while ago."
The shopkeeper had never been to Qingyuan Hou's study, so he didn't know these things.
He bowed hurriedly and said, "Miss San, these calligraphy and paintings were pawned by someone eight days ago. The man is a stranger, and I don't know him."
"No problem." Ji Yunxi waved her hand, "Send it to the Marquis."
The shopkeeper said respectfully, "Yes."
Baofu laughed out loud, "I was wondering how the Yang family, with their poverty, could have scraped together so much money so quickly. It turns out they pawned the paintings and calligraphy the Marquis gave them! You wouldn't have thought that all these pawnshops in the capital belong to our Ji family, and that they would eventually return to us!"
Wanxiang doesn't talk much, and only speaks when she's stuck: "Miss, I don't understand. The Yang family should know that the pawnshop is in our hands, so why do they still come to pawn it?"
Ji Yunxi replied, "Our demand for money must have displeased the Yang family. Although the Second Young Master Yang appears gentle, he is very proud. He naturally wouldn't keep the calligraphy and painting. It's better to pawn it than to lose it. Even if the pawnshop is named Ji, what does it matter if we know about it? Even if we tell others, everyone will still laugh at our Ji family."
"So you should marry someone of equal social status. Marrying someone of lower social status can be a thankless task." Ji Yunxi summed it up.
Wanxiang nodded, indicating that she understood: "Thank you, Miss, for clearing up my confusion."
Baofu didn't understand: "Since Miss knew this, why did she still want to marry into the Wu family?" The Wu family seemed to be even worse than the Yang family.
Ji Yunxi covered the heater in her hand and left this place, walking to the next one, saying as she walked: "I'm different."
She said this without a trace of pride.
There was a subtle sense of melancholy hidden in the calm tone.
Ji Yunxi lived two lives.
In her previous life, she was in the investment industry, and there were many things she didn't understand at the beginning.
These are all lessons learned from suffering losses, stumbling and hurting along the way.
For women who don’t have much experience, it’s better to be cautious when getting married.
Baofu has always been a staunch supporter of his young lady: "That's right, the young lady is different from others. Wait -"
Baofu suddenly pointed somewhere, his voice changing in tone due to shock: "Miss, look over there! Isn't that the heater you gave to the young master of the Wu family that day?!"
Everyone looked over when they heard that, and then turned to look at what Ji Yunxi was holding in her hand.
The two heaters are identical except for a slight difference in color.
It turned out that they were made in the same batch.

A few days passed.
The servant of the mansion stood in the hall and described the situation of the Wu family in vivid detail.
"Third Miss, I've inquired. The Wu family lives in Xinchangfang. There are twelve people in their family: Master Wu, Madam Wu, three sons, and two wives. Master Wu had an older brother, but he died young, so he helped support his sister-in-law and the other five. There are also four servants. It's said that the house is small and there aren't enough rooms, so Master Wu and these servants live in the side courtyard at the back."
As soon as these words were spoken, the maids serving Ji Yunxi all took a deep breath.
Baofu was even more shocked.
Only Wanxiang continued to paint Ji Yunxi's nails with an expressionless face.
Ji Yunxi hummed a sound when she heard this, her expression as usual: "Anything else?"
This servant had been working for the housekeeper in the mansion not long ago, but after he brought the candied haws that day, Ji Yunxi took a fancy to him and asked for him.
Now I work directly for her.
The servant's surname is Tang and his given name is Hu. He is not very old and would be just a high school student in modern times.
But his family sells candied haws, and he grew up in the market. He is very wild and quick-witted.
"Yes, yes, yes. The Wu family's cook goes shopping every day, but she only buys the cheapest ones. She says the Wu family can't afford a charcoal fire, and it's freezing cold. They can only afford vegetarian dishes for every meal. If they want some meat, they ask her to go outside the city to catch rabbits. The master is stingy and poor, and she says she can't do this any longer and wants to run away!"
The last nail is painted.
Ji Yunxi glanced around in the light of the room. It was a smoky red color, extremely beautiful and gorgeous.
It's time to spend some money.
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows and said, "Tang Hu, go get some things from the storeroom. Get ready, I need to go to the Wu family."
-
It snowed intermittently for several days.
